Back on October 8 you commented on the possible closure of the left wing magazine Tribune. The Evening Standard suggested you might make a better fist of it (hmmmmmmmmm).
ReplyDeleteAnyhow see http://takingoutthetrash.typepad.co.uk/taking_out_the_trash/2008/10/a-buyer-for-tribune.html
and tell us: please God you're not the mysterious saviour of the spirtual home of George Orwell and Michael Foot?
You might say that, I couldn't possibly comment.
ReplyDeleteStop being horrible to Smithson !!
ReplyDeleteHe can't be interesting ALL the time !!
Or are you just jealous of his traffic stats ? ;-)
1. I was not being horrible to Mike. I was making a remark about the LibDems!
ReplyDelete2. I don't think I need be jealous of anyone's stats! And so far as I know I have more absolute unique users than he does. He has far more page views though, as so many people sit there hitting refresh throughout the evening. I know. I've done it myself!
A quick note, Iain.
